HISTORY OF A GREAT CHURCH Dr. Buckley's Account of the Origin and ' " . Bite of Methodismi DR. BANKS' NEW BOOK OF SERMONS' More of the "Woman1 * Illl.lc" Holler an Cleaning of GiFucntlon Ke - tarm of the Miinnrlne * Liter * ftry GoMNlp of the Week. The history of perhaps no older religious body or society contains so much that Is of especial interest to the student ot American Institutions as that of the Methodist Eplsco pal church and It Is therefore especially fitting that Dr. James M. Buckley has writ ten a coticbo , eraphtc and comprehensive "History of Methodism" In a popular vein , derrold of theological discussions and care fully considered with reference to other his torical events. The history ot Methodism cannot bo written without writing also a good part of the history of the English speaking people In Kngland nnd the United States. This U just what Mr. Ducklcy has done. Very properly the beginning of the history f Methodism Is long bcforo Itotert Str&wcti brldgo and John Embury formulated creeds .I or John Wesley pleaded for a clearer and ij better understanding of the scriptures. Forno flOO years prior to the reign of Henry XIII [ the E.gllsh people wcro bolng prepared for the chaiiRC which en mo about by reason of r lih uncontrollable temper and fierce pasur slona. King Hciiry could not have taken i the step ho dldj. lu cutting away from tho. j older crccJe and the set forms and cere- nionlnls that had been followed for ccnde turles hut for thb fact that the people wcro ready for tbo change. But the act of re bellion of King Henry v ia only one step Methodism possible and It was fol-ltii I lowed | > ytho _ persecutions under Queenjlu Mary , tuTT liberal treatment of all persons Vl\J Queen Ti'MlvitlrtvK aniTthe vicissitudes ot tbo crown in the centuries following the close of the middle ages. Methodism came to the English people like Presbytcrlanlsm and the creed of the Quakers , as a necessity , though it was a long , hard task to firmly establish It even after the right way had Ixwn uolotcj out. * Of course the history of Methodism In its earlier stages Is simply the llfo of ono mm. John Wesley was , In hU prime , the iMc'thodilst ' church. 'Ho ' made MethoJlsm pos slbio and without him it would not have ibe-eji. Dr. Buekley gives the biography of Wealey foremost position In the book and makes him out simply the plain , hcacst , earnest preacher of the gospel that ho wai WosleS'a life wao a llfo of romance. Ho was a wcn < lerer en the face of the earth and a .man of many parts. When ho was gathered homq the ( Methodist church laJ : become a reality and a living force In the nffilru of the world. This was In 1791. Al ready , Methodism had attracted many cml- uont persons Ira England anJ the American colonies , and especially In the latter 'had It become firmly flxed. Coke , Whltfleld , Wobb. and many others were Interested In tbo work of Wesley. Not until after the ( American colcnlcs had become the United States of America was the Method let Epis copal church formally organized and its ma chinery 'put Into operation. The early years of ( Methodism were filled wlttidlbcnslons | and all manner of troubles. Itwas , a formative period for creeds and for societies cuM many were the fierce con- within and without the churches. ( But tbC.bcot ground for Methodism -was In the United ( States. The severance of th ) colonies from the old country brought about changes which could not be. Ignored. Meth odism grew wlUi > the growth ot the new tales. It was sent out to the frontier post * wlfh the missionaries arid the circuit rUera , who epme-d nfevcr to be weary. But the icreatoat ; lrlal of tMtrthodbm was yet to come. iBarly in the century the anti-slavery agnation commenced In real earnest , and In no place was the commencement earlier than iln the , ch.ur.chca. The Methodist church had1 obtained & Wonderful foothaU In the outhcro states , y t Methodism hod been from tbo start antagonistic to slavery. There bad been strong utterances against human ' bondage In all the c-arly confer ence * and In the sermcos of the great lead en. 'But ' the tMethofJlst .tcacheru were bu rn to and deslrfd to avoid trouble If it could be don P. 10 they had hedged on the great question at different times and had com menced to compromise with the slave hold- era. 'Finally ' the dividing line became eo plain that tall could see It and In due tlmo tin * break came. All this is a part of the history of the United t tateg and as 'Inter ' esting as anything In all tbo history of this country. Dr. Buckley brings bis hlsto down to quite recent years and details the effort * that have been made to bring together thn .branches of the Methodist Episcopal church In America and Rives a complete history of 11 the later trills and tribulations of the church. There is much , also. In the book 'about the newest enterprises ot the church nnd the various phases of It * activity. This Includes hospitals , societies , missions and all the general philanthropic church work. There Is much about the great men Ic.3f Methodism and thcro are many of them , both In England and In America. The terni pcranco work ot the church and the prt It 1 lias played In the Chautauqua movement are given duo consideration. The whole story of Mrthcxllrm Is given nothing omitted that I * vital , nothing given that -will confuse - fuse , H te a * tory for the general student ot history and not alone for the followers ot Wesley , who hold bis name dearer than that ot any other man. The work Is hand somely Illustrated. Harper & Bro. . New York. Books of sermon * are seldom popular and even the volumes that contain printed ser mons that bavo been delivered by the greatest of pulpit orators Ilo untouched upon the book shelves. But Dr. Louis A. Banks cf the First Methodist church of Cleveland has had such signal success with bis published sermons and essays on re- llglous and ethical topics that Christian wortero ara prepared to welcome his latest collection of sermons. "Paul and His Friends , " being a collection ot revival ser mons preached during the month of Jan uary last In his own church. Dr. Banks states that the themes for this series of ermons were selected more than two years before and Illustrations bad been gatherIng - Ing all that time , but each sermon was Dually outlined and dictated to a sten ographer on the day of Its delivery. There ate .thirty-two ot the sermon * aud they rove | Intro tto bring suggestive and Illustrative material ' to the help of preacher * . Sunday chor'lteachers and others. The original and practical character of these sermon * Is Been even In the title * . Here are some ot them ; "A Warm Hand Grasp for heed Man In the Dark , " "A Man Who Failed Once , but Won on a Second Chance , " "A Cry for Help from Silent Lips.

" there hao been controversy over the propriety of ucb a publication , and thl controversy has not always been In the best temper. Part II. Juit published , contains that < * rt of the "Woman's Bible" relating to Judges. Kings , Prophets " and Apoctle * . A ntudy of this book i the ( act that U U not ML much a new revision ot the scriptures as a running com mentary on the same , with notes and ex planation * with special reference to the treatment of women by the writers of the sacred books. Mn1. Stanton has proceeded upon the theory that much of the mistreat ment of women In the BibleIs due to the wrong Interpretation ot cerl'iln passages by men , In other words , that men have read Into the scriptures their own interpretations of the same and have colored with their preju dices tbo divinely Inspired writings. In thtii "Woman'o Blblo1' an effort Is made to show that Christianity Is Inspiring and helpful to women and that there Is nothing la the Clnlctlan religion that gives warrant to man for treating women as Inferior. Insofar as this ta the purpose ot the work it Is well done. Sometimes the treatment of pasrageo in the Blblo Is startling la Ito freedom , but there U always something In this novel treatment refreshing and thought Inspiring. European Publishing Co. , New York. Prof. Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia university deservedly ranks foremost among Americans educators. His addresses and to- eayo on educational subject * have attracted more attention than those of any other writer or speaker In recent years and ho has been In demand for all great educational meet ing * because of the clearness of hla vlewo and the choice language In which he clothes hid thought ! . ' . In all his addresses and csfia > s | ho states that there Is a controlling belief : First , that education In the broad dense In which ho uses the term Is the mcst Impor tant ot human Interests , since It deals with the preservation of the culture and the efilclcncy that wo have Inherited and with their extension nnd development ; second , that this human Interest can and should be I etudled In a scientific spirit and by a sctcn- tlflc method ; and third , that In a. democracy ! at least , an education Is a failure that docs | not relate Itself to the duties and opportunl- tics of citizenship. Prof. Butler has recently | I made a collection of hli addresses and essays on this subject which has been published 'under ' the title of "The Meaning of Kduca- lion , " which wai the topic of his notable . address delivered nearly two years ago In Buffalo. Included In the book Is the address delivered by him as president of the National Educational association In Dcn'ver ' In 1895 , on "What Knowledge Is of Moit Worth ? " Other , addresses are : "Is Thcro New Educa- > bQ Ul'C ? * * O A11U1U a * 1V T A U 141.- tton ? " delivered before an association of col- 1luges ; , and preparatory schools at Easton , Pa. , In 1S05 ; "Democracy and Education , " dellv- ercd before the National Educational associa tion at Buffalo In 1896 ; "Reform of Secondary Education , " reprinted from the Atlantic Monthly , and several others. All these ad- drcfcse.i are worth preserving , and In after years they will bo referred to often by educators caters who desire to reach the basic princi ples of educational work.

FOR. TUB MAIUXKS StIrrltiK Scene In the Harbor of OIil FnrtTeNN Monroe. FORT MONROE , April 26. ( .On Board Flagship Brooklyn. ) The stirring Incident. . of this morning In Hampton Roads made men's blood leap In their veins and enthu siasm boll up to fever heat. Shortly before 8 o'clock one of the little guard boats thai the government will use hereafter to con duct friendly steamers through the lines o mines and torpedoes shot off to the north and the signalman on the after-bridge o the flagship almost simultaneously calle. "Cruiser Montgomery approaching , sir. " Sweeping along at a rapid rate. Its beau tlful lines showing up well in the quake gray paint , the cruiser came down the Roads preceded by the little picket boat guiding It 1 between the dangerous lines of explo slves. When near the Brookljn a oalute was fired to Commodore Schley and returned by the flagship. Then the transport Panther with Us 800 men , raised anchor and with th cruiser as escort started for sea H was then that the enthusiasm broke out. The marines on the tranfpor crowded , the decks In long lines and wavlnt their hats gave vent to mighty cheers , while callors. marines , even firemen on the bis war ships , crowded to the forecastles and re turned them with a will. The men on the Montgomery joined in the chorus and the checnJ resounded from ship to ship , con tinuing until the transport and convoy were out of hall. Hardly had the pair gene than a booming afar off announced annother approach , and the- gunboat Vlckeburg came alonj on Its way out , firing a salute to the commodore's flag. The flagship boomed a seven-gun an swer , and then the men on the Vicksbnrg swarmed Into the rigging and 'almost lost their hats In their enthusiasm. " Every ship of the squadron returned' thb cheer with a will and the men went back to their duties with an aching desire to follow the ships out. The Panther goes out , with splendid protection , on Its journey to Key West , the convoy being large and able to care . " 07 any thing , while all along Its route are strewn active and formidable memb'ers of the mosquito fleet. The orJers for the closing up of the harbor hero after sunset and uotll sunrise goes into effect fully tonight. Captain Case ) , chief of engineers , U. S.

Departed Jnut n * Illoeknillnnr ron Wan HlKhted. NDW YORK , April 2C. The Ward line steamer Saratoga , Captain Johnson , arrived today from Hay ana with 211 passengers and a full cai-go of cigars , sugars , etc. , aud about $1,000,000 In specie. Ttie Saratoga called from New York April 14 with a cargo of supplies for Havana , where It arrived the 18th Inat. and was received by the peo- pie with cheers. The fort at Morro hoisted the American Jack and great rejoicing pre vailed. The people ran wild about the streets and troops were seen marching an1 countermarching on all sides. When the steamer had discharged Its cargo the agents were overwhelmed wth ( applications for pas sage and the ship's steward was obliged to go aehore and purchase supplies for the 311 passengers who embarked. The Sara toga sailed , abaut 5:30 : , a.en. . on the 22d Tills 'time- , the ccntlment ot the people was . displayed la a different manner. They lined the shores of the narrow channel In dcnie crowds , jeering and hooting , cursing and hurlln ; obscene epithets at the steamer and Its passengers. While passing down the channel three guns were fired from each side of the entrance and a red flag was holated on Morro castle. The captain and crew of the Saratoga wcro in dread of the forts and feared detention , but keeping close to a German steamer also bound out t , they succeeded in getting away safely and found that the alarm was occasioned by the appearance off the harbor of the United States blockading fleet. The Saratoga pro ceeded without molestation. _ COURTS ( MUST ! \\SS O.PRIZES. . Executive OfllclnlR Hnve Xo Thought of 'Itelennlnir Any. WASHINGTON , April 26.

E.ct Mndrld I'niiem Supposed to Reflect Government' ' . * 1'ollcy. MADRID , April 26. The general public hero Is In complete Ignorance regarding the JOre Spanish war movements. The newspapers make no mention of them while fully re cording the tactics of the United States fleet. Judging from the available advices , Spain | appears to have the tactics of the badger. The Liberal sajs : "We are Inside our house , Cuba , Porto Rico end the Philippine Islands , and Inside we will remain until you come and drive u out. In fulfillment DUof your arrogant boacn. " It Is generally believed that. In consonance .with this policy , the Spanish fleet , unless compelled to fight , will avoid engagements and the fastest eh Ira will be employed to destroy the commerce of the United States. The newspapers today reflect satisfaction at the unanimity of the support given the gov ernment In the Cortes yesterday. A bill to Indemnify the government for granting autonomy to Cuba , which was not iOtS authorized by the Cortes. Is expested to pass by acclamation today , unites the Robledolets , who are hostile to autonomy , oppooo the measure. WOWA'VS ' MISSIO.V HOARD 3ICDTS.

General Passenger Agent Francis of th D. & M.
